Without a doubt, the NSX's powertrain is quite bland compared to the
competition...

But a well respected enthusiast claimed that the feel of an NSX is superior
to a C5, E46 M3, 996 Carrera.....the chassis and steering feel he regarded
as better. Charles says the NSX is the easiest car ever to get in and get
comfortable with the limits right away...

If true, coupled with the excellent daily driver abilities.......it's a
worthy car for that role. A '99 Zanardi would make an excellent D.D. if it
didn't cost so much.
